"DID YOU THINK YOU COULD ESCAPE? MY WILL CANNOT BE DENIED. IN THIS KINGDOM, ONLY I REIGN SUPREME."
The Evolution Witch's God Kingdom completely enveloped the Darkstar King.
Even if it was unable to penetrate too deeply inside the greater phase lord's body, it was more than powerful enough to take control over the surrounding space and prevent any strange effects from occurring.
The Darkstar King was not strong enough to overcome the suppression of this ubiquitous God Kingdom!
Before the alien could make another move, the grown Geneforger disappeared yet again, only to appear in a different location with the Darkstar King's remaining limb in its alien hands!
The greater phase lord no longer took notice of the pain as he had already become subjected to an even greater suffering at this time!
At this point, the Geneforger had assimilated so much flesh that it looked as if the alien 'child' had gone through numerous years of growth.
Its four eyes gazed hungrily at the armless and legless body of the disgraced native god.
The way in which the Geneforger deliberately amputated the Darkstar King was humiliating to the native aliens!
Their faith crumbled step by step as they witnessed how utterly incapable their god turned out to be. Not a single time did the Geneforger suffer any significant damage.
Now, more and more humans and aliens started to wonder how much further the amazing god biomech could go. How far could it push its own evolution?
More and more aliens started to fear that by the time the Geneforger was done, the real Darkstar King would be replaced by a human mockery of the once-renowned greater phase lord!
If the imitated god was able to summon gravity wells and singularities as strong as the ones displayed by the authentic orven leader, then the faith of many fragile orvens might collapse in its entirety!
"I ENJOYED THE APPETIZERS. IT IS TIME FOR THE MAIN COURSE."
As far as the Evolution Witch was concerned, the biomass of the severed limbs was not all that valuable.
What she truly wanted to assimilate from the hapless greater phase lord was his all-important phasewater organs!
Chief among them was the phasewater production system bestowed by his phase whale masters!
So long as the Geneforger was able to steal this set of key alien organs, it became possible for the god mech to fully replicate the tyrannical bodies and the other amazing abilities of greater phase lords!
The Evolution Witch made no secret of her desire. The Darkstar King felt utterly trapped and incapable of stopping his opponent's next move.
Just as the upsized Geneforger commenced another blindingly fast attack run, the Darkstar King uttered an alien cry of helplessness!
A silent explosion occurred as lots of extraordinary alien blood spilled across space!
Unlike past physical contacts, the Darkstar King did not lose another part of his body at this time!
In fact, the Darkstar King had already disappeared from this location.
It soon became clear that the Darkstar King had been displaced all the way to the inner defensive sphere.
The orven god's life and remaining body was saved!
Even though it wouldn't take all that much effort for the Geneforger to penetrate the half-crumbled middle defensive sphere and catch up to the injured Darkstar King, the god biomech did not do so at this time.
A new opponent stood in the powerful organic mech's way.
"YOU ARE THE ANCIENT PHASE WHALE THAT THE NATIVE CALL THE SINGULARITY LORD."
The completely new presence had appeared in the original place of the Darkstar King while surrounded by an incredibly solid spatial barrier.
Age and majesty suffused the entire form of the phase whale as the Singularity Lord appeared in view of red humanity for the first time.
Compared to every other phase whale that people had seen before, the Singularity Lord clearly existed in an entirely different league!
It was not just his body that looked different. Even when it was still in its compact space-folded form, the Singularity Lord looked much more like an actual deity than the Darkstar King.
As the oversized Geneforger began to confront the ancient phase whale by extending its powerful God Kingdom, the Singularity Lord was able to resist the intrusion a lot better!
The ancient phase whale's apparent strength and mastery over space was powerful enough to prevent his adversity from taking total control of the immediate environment.
What was even more important than that was that the Singularity Lord's control over his whale-like body turned out to be incredibly solid!
There were no weak points or vulnerabilities. Not a single piece of hide of the ancient phase whale surrendered control to the human god pilot.
Although the Evolution Witch's unreasonably strong God Kingdom still managed to wrest a bit more control over the surrounding space, the lack of total dominance meant that she was not able to exert as much strength and suppression as before.
That was fine. The Geneforger possessed many more capabilities that did not require a total takeover of the environment!
A God Kingdom ultimately served an assisting function to a god mech. Their own physical frames, modules and equipment were ultimately their main means of waging combat against formidable opponents!
Once the two apex entities had taken each other's measure, the Singularity Lord finally made another move.
His body started to grow in size as he consciously unfolded the compressed space that kept his form at a reasonable proportion.
The Singularity Lord's physical body gradually stretched on for kilometers, tens of kilometers, hundreds of kilometers until finally stabilizing at a length of over 3700 kilometers!
This was an inconceivable size for any organism, no matter whether they evolved on land or in space.
Blood and other surrounding debris began to move towards the true body of the Singularity Lord without the alien leader making any other deliberate moves.
This was a sign that his immensely large organic form had already grown massive enough to form its own substantial gravity well!
In other words, the Singularity Lord was not only as large as a moon, but also possessed the mass of a comparable stellar object!
After a brief delay, the Singularity Lord released a subtle spatial wave that conveyed a completely alien message.
The people of the Red Two that was responsible for broadcasting the ongoing battle somehow managed to capture and interpret the ancient phase whale's attempt at communication.
Ves and many other people watching the live feeds soon heard a translation of the message conveyed by one of the leaders of the Red Cabal.
While the broadcasted sentence wasn't a literal translation of the Singularity Lord's exact words, they accurately conveyed his overall intent.
"THE TWO OF US SHALL FIGHT. ONLY ONE OF US SHALL LIVE TO DEVOUR THE OTHER."
The orven-like face of the transformed Geneforger responded with a ravenous grin.
"TERMS ACCEPTED. ON MY HONOR, I VOW TO DUEL YOU TO THE DEATH. LET US SHOW THESE MORTAL BEINGS HOW TRUE GODS FIGHT!"
Both sides knew that the outcome of this duel would likely determine the victor of this entire battle!
As long as one side lost the protection of their most powerful champion and protector, it became utterly vulnerable to the wrath of the surviving god!
